I don't think anybody in that car is old enough for Cracker Barrel...

I can WALK and meet you guys for breakfast. Should have brought my Alfa today, for a reason to meet up. (I'm on the other side of the fence- not the test track side, but the one behind the hotel, in the swanky research building)
Have a good meeting.

Don't forget to ask him if he's a Chevy guy...
Mackinac Island smells of two things: Fudge and Horse E36 M3! No joke. Nice place though.
while it may seem stalking, you know that PM's do get through. Just sayin.
Oh, and if you can ask Jim an tough and honest question- Lincoln. What is it trying to be? Really. A lot of us seriously wonder.
Especially when we had so many decent ideas for marketing Mercury, which was let go instead of fixing.
Alas, thank you SO much for bringing this really awesome weather. This rocks.

I was more excited to get into that plant to see the Doritos being made than I was selling them hoses. Then the joint call got dropped.
perhaps because you were more interested in a joint than the call? 
So, where's the car right now? I'm sat about 1,000 yards from the Dearborn inn, maybee I should walk/stalk down and see if you're still there.
Tim's already in meetings, but if you'd like I could show you the car at 10:30. Can you meet me at the main entrance in 15 minutes for some pictures and a short visit?
Actually, lets say 10:45. I need to run to the parts store.
Main entrance of the Dearborn is?
Or WHQ?
I'll be there.
which ever it is
Err, it's the loop with the awning and the valet stand. I don't know my way around here. XD
See ya there.
Eric, you free too?
I hope one of you worthless losers has a camera on you, but knowing both of you, I bet you don't.

that's the big building HQ or the hotel?
Right here at the red awning.
in case you don't recognize it from above, the awning is attached to the Dearborn Inn.

Jim Farley's a real car guy - his 1934 Ford hot rod was on the cover of Rodder's Journal not too long ago.
He also has a GT350 and a 289 Cobra, here's an article about him: http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/features/jim-farley-driving-fords-future.html

Thanks for sending the clock down, looks great in my office!!!
Nice red awning.
Snicker, snicker...
Nice meeting!
Dropped three of them off at the Henry Ford, the 4th still has to meet with Farley.
they are planning on going to the car show in Romulus, if you still want to meet the stars.
Yep, we're having a great time! Thanks everyone for coming to see us, and a special thanks to Adrian Thompson for getting us into the Museum and Alfadriver for taking me to the parts store for more power steering fluid!
